Grasshoppers, "nsenene" in the local language, are both a delicacy and a source of income in Uganda. They migrate en masse twice a year, right after the rainy seasons, flooding the sky in huge flocks before daybreak. Every night, a large part of the population stays up till twilight to hunt and sell them. Traps made of barrels and metal sheets are placed everywhere, even on rooftops, and strong light bulbs are used to attract the insects. Plastic bottles, nets and burlap sacks are also employed, and many people catch the hoppers with their bare hands. The ubiquitous presence of the crickets and the overall green shade dispersed by the night mist and the smoke of bonfires create a otherworldly scenario, enhanced by the oddness of the hunting techniques and self-made equipment. Moments of busy activity alternate with long pauses, where people try to get some rest or kill time. In recent years, though, deforestation has heavily reduced the number of insects that migrate and climate change across Africa has made seasonal rains difficult to predict. Timing when to set the traps is crucial and doing it imprecisely can jeopardize the harvest and result in a serious loss. This body of work aims to create an opportunity for reflection on the relationship between humankind and nature. As global crisis such as climate emergency and COVID19 are demonstrating, any event that we first perceive as remote could in fact drastically change our daily lives. The project wants to underline that even what looks like a dystopian future is part of our present; in its dangers, but also in its potentials. For example, the crickets’ high protein content makes them a potential food resource for the future, which could reduce world hunger and improve food safety.
